Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human MCUR1, which shares 79.4% and 82.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MCUR1, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 40 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
mitochondrial calcium uniporter regulator 1. MCUR1 is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that has been shown to function as a component of the mitochondrial Ca (2+) uniporter, in the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory complex IV, and in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). The MCUR1 gene is mapped to chromosome 6p23 based on an alignment of the MCUR1 sequence with the genomic sequence. Functional note: Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) required for calcium entry into mitochondrion. Plays a role in uniporter-mediated calcium uptake via a interaction with MCU. Probably involved in the assembly of the membrane components of the uniporter complex. Reported localization: Mitochondrion inner membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitously expressed.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how MCUR1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cytoskeleton/ECM: Researchers commonly examine how MCUR1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- ECM Enzymes: Researchers commonly examine how MCUR1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative MCUR1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of MCUR1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
